Belmar Veteran: “Smith is the ‘veterans congressman.'”

July 24, 2018 - Today, a Belmar veteran published a letter to the editor in the Asbury Park Press about how Rep. Chris Smith stands up for and helps veterans in New Jersey’s Fourth District.

“Smith is the ‘veterans congressman.’ As a 100 percent disabled Vietnam veteran, Smith and his staff have assisted me and thousands of veterans over the years with any and all veterans issues,” wrote the veteran.

Smith has a strong record for authoring critical laws that help to improve veterans services, increase the number of veterans facilities, expand education benefits for veterans and fund programs to help homeless veterans. To date, Smith authored 14 laws to help veterans. He also served as chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee.
